The title of this blog was the name of my football team today. We played a version of football that I played in my high school gym class called "Pass". Krepšininkas means "basketballers" in Lithuania, and everytime that I say it, the Lithuanian youth laugh and giggle because I can never pronounce it correctly. Oh well, it is all in good fun.
Today. was. great. I was very surprised to see so many of the young people come back from last year's group. Of course, there were still many who didn't come back, but a good majority returned. All glory to the Almighty One for that great blessing! So, it was good to see some old faces and to meet the new ones. Right off the bat, we began with a game, which began good times and laughs for everyone. Christa had the lesson and fed them the good news of our Lord Jesus. Also, she taught them about American birthday parties. After that, we made bracelets, and before you knew it, our time with them was over. I greatly look forward to tomorrow, when we can be with them again.
Now to respond to Pastor Thoma's archery post. Yes, it is true, he won. Fair and Square. But let's be honest, do you really think that Joe and I would allow ourselves to beat a man of the cloth? Of course not... Just kidding of course. His skills improved greatly over time and practice, and he showed us that he is capable of being in Robin Hood's group of Merry Men.
I hope that all is well in the States. Continue to support us through prayer that the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts would be acceptable in the eyes of our Lord, who is our Strength and our Redeemer.
